James Halliday – “Don’t bother cellaring this. It’ll be fine if you do so in the short-term, yet this is ready now. A gorgeous combo of florals and spice, red cherries and raspberries, chinotto and blood orange. Lighter framed with soft, silky tannins and a refreshment throughout.” - Jane Faulkner, The Wine Companion

About This Wine

Organic. 2022 is just the fourth release of the KK01, but this wine has already secured its position as a mainstay among Quealy’s fantastic range of Mornington Pinot Noirs. The fruit is sourced from two blocks of dry-grown MV6 vines in Quealy’s certified-organic home vineyard in Balnarring. These vines, planted in 1996, are a stone's throw from the famed, old-vine Seventeen Rows plot.

The aim for KK01 has always been to craft a delicious, earth-to-glass Pinot with immediate charm and early appeal. Hence, there’s a strong carbonic element and less time on skins than in the Seventeen Rows, for example. There is also little by way of sulphur additions and no impact from new wood. The fruit was destemmed and fermented as whole berries with no plunging. The wine was pressed after 12 days and sent to seasoned puncheons for 12 months’ maturation.

Though there may not be much of it—yields were dramatically low in 2022 for this certified-organic estate—it’s clear KK01 is hitting its straps. Popping with fresh-berry fragrance and savoury, spicy depth, it’s a real charmer.

Mornington Peninsula Wines

South of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula grape growing region has a cool, maritime climate that is most known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. Other varieties that have seen some success here include Pinot Gris and Tempranillo.

However, it does seem that Pinot Noir is their focus judging from the fact that The Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration is held once every two years. The event displays the region’s capabilities in making some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir in front of local and international audiences.
